In the past others have requested that my tones reflect the peak signal, therefore I set my peaks to -20dB… I knew right away would be very low but I figured that’s what they asked for. I guess there was a miscommunication when I asked for their specs and got the sole response of “-20dB Digital audio”. They must have meant JUST the tones.
As a rule of thumb, what is the proper peak and mean levels in dBfs for broadcast submission in North America?
Thanks for the help!
